Veterans Day at the Lamun-Lusk-Sanchez Texas State Veterans Home will be a day of honor for all residents.
At 2 p.m., Friday, a special Veterans Day service will honor all veteran residents at the home with certificates honoring their service. Each certificate will bear the insignia of the branch of U.S. Armed Forces in which each veteran served.
The service will include a wreath-laying by Lamun-Lusk-Sanchez Texas State Veterans Home employees, the singing of the national anthem and a medley of patriotic songs by the Big Spring Junior High Choir, an in-memory-of roll call and a presentation of flags and branch certificates by VFW Post 2013. After Taps, attendees will release balloons in memory of loved ones lost.
